harry reid has decided not to put it in the gun legislation. dianne feinstein is angry, deeply disappointed, still wants a shot at it. what do you think about the decision by the leadership to not perform a vote on the assault weapon ban? >> i personally have supported a ban on it, i support the second amendment rights, but i think we have to address the issues of weapons of war on our street and do it in a wise way. our majority leader has decided that if he puts that into the base bill going forward, we'll never have a chance to debate the issue that americans want us to talk about -- how do we look at reducing violence on our streets, what are the things we need to do. he wants to bring that bill up, and needs to get 60 votes just to bring it to the floor. we will have an amendment to put the assault weapons ban back in place. we'll see where the votes are, but i think the majority leader is trying to get us to a discussion in the united states senate about this issue that plagues many communities and worrieses every single american sit zen.
